Stripes Anyone?

Apparently the sales have been so slow this year that last season's misfits and unwanteds will be taking up valuable shop space for a good while longer. However, there's at least one place where there'll be brand new stuff this weekend.

That's at Adidas, where fashion world darling and king of lowbrow fabulousness, Jeremy Scott, will unveil his new capsule collection. The man that according to i-D is "bad taste personified", spices up your tracksuit and trainers white trash staples with liberal servings of gold wings, ruffles and sequins.

There's more, though, as collections from streetwear guru Alyasha Owerka-Moore and Kazuki Kuraishi of Japanese Fragment Design will also be presented. And all this before the three-striped Germans launch their new SLVR line on Monday.

Adidas aren't the only ones with designer collaborations this year, though. Mango will treat us to goodies from Oscar de la Renta's Adam Lippes in March; Topshop to gems from iconic Biba's Barbara Hulanicki and a new line from Kate Moss in April; and H&M will start peddling Matthew Williamson robes in the same month.

It seems like we won't be walking threadless after all.

Jeremy Scott, Alyasha Owerka-Moore and Kazuki Kuraishi for Adidas - from February 1
New Adidas SLVR line - from February 2
Adam Lippes for Mango - from March 15
Barbara Hulanicki and new Kate Moss for Topshop - April
Matthew Williamson for H&M - from April 23
